    ArmInfo. A total of 17 companies pretend to take part in the
    competition for getting license to act as the third mobile operator
    in Armenia.

    Armenian Transport and Communication Ministry told ArmInfo, they are:
    France Telecom (France), CEO Blackrock Communications (Ireland),
    V-Tel (Jordan), GEO (England), M$A Tele2AB (Sweden), Knightsbridge
    International Telecommunications Holding (Egypt), Aetos Consulting
    Limited (Englad), Kalba International (Egypt), AAA Capital GmbH
    (Germany), Auroratel (Russian Federation), PJ Engineering (Finland),
    EEC group (Egypt), mmC Group (Spain), Samsson group (Germany). SALEM
    AGENCIES AND SERVICES CO (SAS) and JGAG also want to take part in
    the competition, but it is not clear what countries they present.

    The Competition Commission will mention the companies which passed
    the first stage of the competition over 40 days. Then over the next 40
    days these companies will present their application-suggestions. The
    name of the their mobile operator will be declared in December.

    As Chairman of Public Services Regulatory Commission Robert Nazaryan
    said earlier, today two mobile operators are functioning in Armenia,
    BeeLine and VivaCell, and coming of the third operator may tighten
    the competition. In its turn this will lead to raising communication
    quality and reducing of tariffs.

    The third operator will be allowed to provide internet services and in
    the future - fixed telephony services within granted radio frequencies.

    Nazaryan says that the local telecoms market is quite attractive for
    big operators. Today the two acting operators have a total of 1.7mln
    subscribers while the population of Armenia is 3.2mln. Nazaryan said
    that the third operator might gain over some of their subscribers if
    it provides high quality and moderate price services.

    The third mobile operator may start its activities in Armenia in the
    early summer 2009 - 6 months after being proclaimed the winner of
    the tender.
